Expertise
I have been painting professionally in homes and businesses publicly and privately for over 20 years and I obtained my accredited training and internship with York Academy of Arts.
In my love of the arts, I paint with many different styles and mediums...but mainly specialize in murals and fine art, in acrylics and watercolor, pencil/charcoal & Pen & Ink...AND.. the occasional wood carving and sculpture.
Malia's Parent business, Kekoa Kreations has led the way to a more service oriented business, The Borrowed Artist Inc...
"As a professional artist I have been told that my work makes my customers feel at peace and a feeling of enjoyment when they view my art work.. It is that, the inner peace, and excitement of the creative part of our nature that makes me feel profound and accomplished as an artist. And its also that ability, I wish to share and invoke in a blossoming artists' mind" ~Malia
Formerly, Da Kine Artists
The Borrowed Artist Inc ®
"Healing on the Inside, by Creating on the Outside..."
TBA Inc. is a 501[c]3 Non Profit Organization.
Our mission: is to bridge the gap between professional artists, aspiring artists, healing arts and wellness seekers , providing access to and affordable fine art services.
The Creation of the Borrowed Artist Inc was my brainchild to find a way to give back to our communities and military and bring our diverse and rural areas the same access to Arts & Culture that the metro areas tend to have.
Creative Art Expression used in a structured environment not only inspires and evokes the artistic side of the brain but it helps children, adolescents, and adults explore their emotions and mental wellness, improve self-esteem, manage addictions, relieve stress, improve symptoms of anxiety and depression, and cope with a physical illness or disability.

My teaching experience is mostly with children, troubled youth, veterans and independent seniors. I recently retired off of Camp Lejeune where I ran a Mess Hall for 6 years, managing and training over 50 staff and marines, where I received intensive and focused training in the art of communications and people management.
Healing on the Inside by Creating on the Outside
I am blessed with the opportunity to help people of all ages learn how to relax and learn creative art skills while they discover the artist within themselves. Sharing my talents and skills with others is how the name The Borrowed Artist name was created..
Blessed Be God..
